Magika

Went for the gala premiere of Magika tadik. Dah dua kali ku tonton, dari preview sebelom ni berbulan lalu.

Again, kalao nak mintak aku review, tak larat lor. Bukan aku entertainment website. I'm just a blog - a personal blog, which is just my personal opinion of things. Things that I choose to talk about.

But kalao nak mintak opinion aku, depending on what you're looking for. It's a good family popcorn movie. Nak kata rugi, takkan la kalao beli tiket. Would I buy a ticket to watch? Yes.

But maybe simply because aku memang suka tengok lakonan Ning sebagai Puteri Gunung Ledang, Ziana sebagai Nenek Kebaya, Nani dan Leya sebagai Bawang Putih dan Bawang Merah, Pak Nil sebagai Pak Pandir. Kira amusing la to have our own version of Alice In Wonderland with all our favourite artistes.

Star power memang kaw kaw. Ada Mawi, Diana Danielle, Maya Karin, M Nasir... aduh. Ramai la. Dah.. malas nak taip panjang. Baik korang layan pics at the premiere.

Kalao korang perasan aku perangai kemalasan menulis. Tapi ni sebab kesibukan aku so paham la ek. Pe pon, aku kejar rezek ni, blog peribadi ku menjadi tanggungjawab semakin berat nak maintain. Especially since aku lebih meriah ber-micro blogging via Twitter. So add aku sana lagik up to date.

But I am not getting rid of my blog, and I won't stop. But just that kekadang malas tulis panjang ke, ataupon lambat update, mintak paham-paham la ek. Heh...

Goodnight all... time for some shut eye now.

Happy anniversary Vee and Shidi!

Ni bukak kek harijadi ek. No one's celebrating their kids' tenth birthday. Ni sebenarnya 'kek' ulangtahun Vanidah Imran dan Rashidi Ishak.

Tadi ada majlis sambutan their tenth wedding anniversary. Aku serious suka sangat couple ni. If you've read my previous posts, tau la camna aku adore si Vee ni. Dia ni memang besh, rilek dan sempoi, sesuai la ngan si Shidi.

Sedar tak sedar da 10 tahun meka bertahan. Praying that both of them will be together till their end of their days sebab they are indeed a beautiful couple. Bosan cita artis cerai pas berhari jek, ni sepuluh tahun pon going strong and kedua meka ni romantic as ever.

Tengok je their pics.

So sweet kan meka berdua ni. Cam newlyweds lak aku tengok.

Since they were the focus of the night, tak dapek layan Vee dan Shidi sangat. So borak ngan someone yang da lama ku tak jumpa.

Tuh dia. Si Nani. Lama tak jumpa sangat. Sempat la borak panjang catch up, skali diselit ngan Leya. Heh. By the way, sapa fan Nani, dia da skang bergelar tuan director da tau. Her short film da complete. Tak sabar ku nak tengok.

Monday blues, so forgive me if aku malas nak update sangat.

Eh...

Mai kita wat test tuk segala fashionistas out there. What shoes are these? I mean label ok... kalao ko pandai soal kasut, skali tengok pon da tau. And soalan kedua, sapa yang pakai?

Jawapan at the end of this entry. Malam tadi gi Anugerah Stail EH!. Sebenarnya ada hal kat Subang nak jumpa someone... (angau sat). Tapi alang-alang singgah sebab kengkawan kat sana. So sempat la snappy-snappy sikit.

Ni masa Cat dok tayang baby baru dia kat Fafau. Tapi memang cute anak dia.

Aku snappy Nazril cause I love his shirt! Cantik gila...it's got like this propped collar. Tak silap aku Sazzy belikan masa kat Sydney or something. I like the shirt... nak carik gak!

Sempat snap kengkawan yang rajin meng-Twitter-kan diri, si Schawalina. Otherwise known as Scha, Awal dan manager Awal, si Lina. Matilah feeling Brangelina katanya aku nak pandai pandai gabungkan nama.

Here are the winners. Aku tak amik pot cause some of the keputusan kelakar. I mean we're talking about STYLE here, right? But takpe.. majlis orang.

Congrats pada Pak Nil, Nash dan Sazzy, Awal and Faz. And the rest of the winners too.

Pengacara malam tuh, si Leya. I think Leya looks cute... masih maintain. Maapkan flash aku kasar ek. Matilah aku kalao Leya tau aku upload pic ni. Heh... pakai handphone snappy je nok.

Farhan has slimmed down so much, it's nice to see dia d banyak perubahan lately. I like!

Ok ok... they mystery of the shoes. Let's answer it now.

The answer?

Well, for me, masa aku nampak, visually my first answer was Louboutin. Second was Chanel (though tak penah nampak Chanel ala pony hair)

And true enough, my guess was right. They're Christian Louboutin. Suka sangat tekstur berbulu gituh. And high! Heels, the way it should be made - high.

Sempat tuh aku nak snappy katanya. Sebenarnya tukang pakai masa kena interview tak larat nak pakai da. Mana taknya, kasut camni five minute heels jek tapi dia kena pakai semalaman sebab asik kena photograph.

So did you get who the artiste was?

Tuh dia... Faz. Sesuwai menang style award, very fitting.

Tapi selain kasut kan... ni aku paling suka.

Cantik Chanel clutch dia. Cutesy.

Hope you guys like the pics... aku mood malas sangat sebenarnya nak update. Tapi demi korang.. aku keep going.

I Dreamed A Dream

Ok firstly aku nak komen sikit pasal all the hatred among fans, and yang overdose maki mencarut bagai. Not anywhere else but here in my Comments section.

Senang nak menyamar bawah nama Anonymous. To all the fan clubs, ignore idiots like that. No matter what fan club you are from - focus your energy on AFUNDI, not battling it with words. Cause no matter what you say, the numbers decide who stays or not.

Sapa nak teruskan hating, silakan je. Kalau da extreme, senang je aku nak trace balik IP and make a police report kalao keadaan terlalu serious. For now aku rilek je sebab da biasa time musim Akademi Fantasia, all the name calling and beautiful bahasa jiwa bangsat akan keluar dari mereka yang emo, atau mengambil kesempatan keadaan.

Be more intelligent, and show some restraint.

Meanwhile, for me, aku tak kisah atau hairan pun apa kutukan mai. Ok jerk. Cam la aku tak biasa stakat stok pengecut nak kuar kata-kata kesat mana pon. Hakikatnya, lagik layan, lagik membosankan. Cause it gets repetitious. It has for the seventh year now, and dah lali.

So nak berkomen kat sini, ignore any idiots yang nak provoke. Sebab memang ramai yang akan suka nak lagakan orang (biasalah... ada yang konon berwibawa pon leh wat camtuh)

So korang mai sini, layan Diari and you know what.. stir up a little drama pon takpe. But kalao nak tunjuk lagak sini nak main wat hal, that's just a sad call for attention, and I understand it must fill up your time to make you feel better. Kind of like validation for your existence.

But to my more intelligent friends yang masuk sini, ignore je.

No matter what fan club you are from, just chill.

Again....

AFUNDI Aishah, AFUNDI Akim, AFUNDI Claudia, AFUNDI Hafiz, AFUNDI Isma, AFUNDI Yazid.

Ok la.. nak tido. Tadik gi megular ngan kengkawan. And we were joined by three beautiful ladies.

Aleya and Aliyah


Hot chicks?


Tengah malam pon rancak nak snappy


Actually da ajak Vee join skali. But Nani and Leya just happened to be there, so they joined up. Faz tak sempat mai cause she claimed Cinderella needed to be back. Matilah lepas tengah malam jadik labu! Larik!

We just chilled and borak, with kak Vee especially on an upcoming project. It's going to be fun.

Things are going in full swing from next week. Tak sabar... lagu tema aku minggu ni is lagu I Dreamed A Dream from Les Misérables. Especially since apa aku impikan selama ni akan jadi kenyataan akhirnya! Yeay!

And sesuai ngan lagu ni sebab tengah meletop thanks to Susan Boyle yang surprised everyone in Britain's Got Talent who personifies talent, need not be recognised by just what's on the outside.

Three standing ovations - and within minutes of after being laughed at. Now that's what real talent does for you.

Ok la... korang seriously kena layan video ni, and trust me, it will move you to tears! Me going off to sleep with this song (from the original soundtrack recording) on repeat. Night...


PS - I need representatives of official fan clubs to contact me ASAP! Wakil dari setiap kelab peminat for Astro production. Please jangan pepandai call kalao tak di pilih sebagai wakil fan club. We need you to represent your fan clubs. Call me at 017-2025900. Jangan pepandai miss call sebab aku tak mungkin kenal sapa ko ek. At least SMS. Thanks!

Sayang... you can dance???!!!

Been tired running about ada hal sana sini. But malam tadi more so lor.

It's Indonesian themed week! My 'twin', Leo is in town, with Danny. So smalam lepak ngan meka kejap cause couldn't make it the night before sebab ada benda nak settle.

Yeay!! Leo got me a Project Pop CD. It's their compilation CD called Top of the Pop or something like that. Also some stuff he bought in Bali for me.

Pas tuh, rushed to Pavilion to see another Indonesian friend who was in town. Samuel Rizal!!! Gawd this dude is the best! Dia ni memang gila gila happy go lucky. So seronok dapat jumpa Sammy again cause the last time jumpa dia was about a year ago when he was in town pas shooting Sayang You Can Dance. And since this time he's only here a couple of days tak dapat lepak pun.

Anyway, thank to the invitation from kak Fati, joined her and uncle Rashid for the gala premiere of the event, which of course had Nani, Sammy, Dafi... ramai ler.

Also managed to catch up with friends there sebab ramai yang da lama tak jumpa, hadir.

On to pics je la.

The cast of Sayang You Can Dance



Camelia pun ada. Last jumpa dia pun da setahun


Adam joined to lend moral support


Don't you think Nani looks so damn sweet!


Soon to be mommy Leya. Due in June with TWINS!!!


Part of the happy family. Kak Fati is like another mummy so extended family betul la kiranya


Pas settle borak kat luar and they finished speeches and stuff, we all went in for the movie. Or otherwise, more camwhoring while waiting for the movie to begin (selain dari mengumpat apa yang patut la)

Marsha and Ajai


My other parents


Cam and her manager Magie


Samuel and I dok next to each other - and had the worst picture of me ever taken done. Argh..!!!!!! This is a case of bad angle!!! I look like a freaking beached whale!!!


Leya pun nak tau!!!


Anyway the movie was ok. Not disappointed, but it left a weird feeling cause the basics of a good popcorn movie was there, but lacking some punch. I don't know.

Technically the film was alright. Storyline a little cliche, editing was a little dodgy, choreography a tad disappointing and acting some of the cast members below par.

But it's got Sammy and Nani, so it was good enough for me. Go watch it. Worth it. Especially to catch the Yasmin Ahmad cameo tuh yang best!

Yawn.. ok la guys.. I need to turn in. The week is only beginning for me when it's ending for others. Esok aku ada lagik benda nak post. It's going to start.... by the way, jangan lupa Tirai Akademi Fantasia starts tomorrow night. The programme info semua on the right side punya sidebar. Later....


PS - Did catch up TV and watched Idol (predicted right for the third group and knew Jasmine and Anube would get in - THANK GOD Tatitana didn't), Heroes (pening siot.. every week cliffhanger memang suspen), America's Next Top Model cycle 12 (Tyra is so freaking cheesy!!!) and a couple of movies.

PPS - Faz shooting a telemovie so we all busy. Just one of those times...

Casting wow!

Earlier today kena bangun awal. Takde la awal sebenarnya. Konsep awal pon, bila matahari da tinggi kat langit tuh.

The destination today. Meet up Jue dan Faz nak temankan makcik tu gi casting lagik hari ni. Today at Line Clear lak. Heh... motif yang sengih? Tak baik korang. Anyway it was fun - not so much fun trying to find the place in the middle of Bukit Jelutong, but fun once there.

I think every actress yang ada nama was there. Make that every actress. Except sorang. But we won't go into details, will we love.
Let's see who was there for casting apart from Faz. There was Sharifah Amani, Sharifah Aleya, Sazy Falak, Yasmin Hani, Irma Hasmie, Fouziah Gous, Intan Ladyana, Ainul Aishah, Raja Farah.. erm.. sapa lagik. Ramai la...

Aku nak snappy pics pun pening. So this is it lor.

Leya, Nani, Hani and Sazzy - among the most gorgeous and talented in the business


Irma - hot bod and seriously one of the most underrated actresses about. She is hot!


Aku letak pic Irma for two reasons. Satu sebab aku rasa dia ni not getting enough attention. Physically, first of all, noticed she has the perfect women's figure dari segi her curves. Seriously! Once you see her live you have to admit it. Also because masa casting tu, aku seriously think she is a damn good actress, just wish she had the roles to prove herself in.

Secondly letak pic dia sebab dia ni antara geng Pelita gak. Heh! Bukan senang tau nak redah Pelita tuh. Aku paham how it is for these ladies to lepak there. Faz always gets it. People just - STARE! Eww! That's rude, people! Don't do it. Have a reaction but don't stare.

Kaau korang ingat aku penah post pasal Anuar Zain skali masa lepak ngan dia dan Hazami tu how people stared and took pics from meja nun jauh. Ala... tegur je la. Dari jauh jeing sana maintain macho nak feeling, pastu kang kata orang sombong. Kaaaaaaaaaannnn... you make people feel uncomfortable. At the end of the day - it's just rude to stare. Merasalah nak deal with the noya of having someone eyeballing you.

And it was on to Pelita later, much later in the night ngan Jue dan Faz. Before that ke open house Stacy Frenz.

I love it!

Honestly, it was one of the best gaths I've been to, not in term of size or grandeur, but in terms of the cosiness and the whole familial feel of things. I'd think of it as a big family get-together than a normal fan gath.

Seb baik aku tak pakai biru tua. Kalao tak kami da jadik maskot TV3 da


Owhhh... how touching.. *sniff*


Putet and I


The family


Thanks to Stacy Frenz for inviting me, and also for the little gift to recognise my participation. Honestly though, I think korang yang patut dapat one each for your hard work and all you guys have done so far. Keep it up!

And for those yang nak tengok pics lebih (bila update ler) CLICK HERE for the fan club's official blog and CLICK HERE for the new website.

Got another full day the tomorrow. Well, actually like that for the next few days, so will leave you guys with this video. Bits and pieces from Stacy's performance smalam. Pakai Nokia aku je, so jangan carut kualiti bukan HD cam ok!

Ta!

Gimme gimme more... gimme more...

Okay so this is going to be another long entry, in part thanks to the banyak gambar aku amik masa sanding Leya and Ashraf earlier tonight.

Memang besh event tuh. Tapi apapon, let me start dari mula, and backtrack since my last posting was done at their house. Memang it was the most multicultural wedding aku penah hadiri.

Mana taknya... sebab bonda Leya, Nani, Lesya and Yana, kak Fatimah Abu Bakar is half Chinese, meka also pay respects to their mother's side of the family in typical traditional Chinese style!

Kalau ikut gaya kaum Cina, cara untuk hormat orang tua masa kahwin, is when you bring your husband home to the family house, you must present him to your parents and grandparents, and then keseluruhan keluarga to ask for their approval untuk dia diterima dalam keluarga.
Memang macam wedding kaum keluarga aku yang penah aku saksikan.

The reason for this, is especially to pay respect to kak Fati's mom, nenda Leya and sisters, who is pure Chinese. Walaupun dia convert - ni soal kebudayaan, so it was touching to see they still observe simple things like respecting their elders in the traditional Chinese manner.

Iaitu dengan pasangan pengantin menghidang teh kepada kaum keluarga, bermula dari parents, then grandparents (either way pun boleh) followed by sedara mara. Yang lebih muda dan lum kahwin, the other way around... kena serve pasangan pengantin.

Yang pasangan pengantin hidang teh - akan memberikan angpow, dan yang menghidang pasangan akan menerima angp pow! Amik ko!

Dapat gak angpow walaopon raya Cina lom sampai kan!

I didn't take pics of the tea ceremony - except one sebab sibuk kaco kak Fati ngan aturcara - kerana ingat what my grandma and my aunties taught me about the ritual. But I'm going to start this posting ngan beberapa pics yang tak sempat aku upload semalam.

By the way, keluarga Ashraf pun dapat pengalaman pertama take part in the tea ceremony. How sweet...

Nani - the best woman - never the bridesmaid ok!


Yana pun nak mencelah.


Sempat enter frame tuh si Nani...


Only pic aku sempat rakam masa upacara hidang teh dari pasangan pengantin to Leya's grandparents.


The happy couple - Ashraf and Leya, with wedding planner si Eena, bini Yasin and Nani - the woman of all trades yang control freak (matilah aku!)


Cantik Leya - tapi rambut bentuk cam kepala Alien! (ampun Leya!!!!)


Apa hal Nani dan Yana ni... kena kurung ke???


On the way out - reminder of the happy event...

I was dead tired bila sampai rumah Bangsar way past 5pm. Ngantuk siot tak cukup tido tapi sebab tak berani tidur tak tak jaga jaga and miss my later private event - tahan jerlah. By the time event habis - pas 1am, aku balik terus KO. Gawd! This is like the first Saturday in months aku tidur this early.

Next day bangun awal - ada event Marsha FC punya bowling. Ramai team amik bahagian siot! Lebih 40 siot! Aku kena gi sebab main mewakili team Bloggers. My team mates? Abang Bad, Diddy and klon Juan Danza (ampun makcik!) yang kena ganti the original yang tido mati tak sedau walaopon aku call beribu lemon kali!

Ni some pics aku amik kat sana. Before I forget...tahniah pada semua pemenang and all the sporting fan clubs - and also to the organisers yang sudi jemput aku. Besh besh besh.. me likey! Ramai hadir - sekali ada Shawal, Amylea, Heliza... not sure if anyone else from the camp was there sebab riuh rendah!

Walaupon ni event FC dia, Marsha sibuk abih. The other piccies of Team Blogger (we weren't the best - but we also weren't the worst, ok!)


Heliza pose haper tuh??? Amylea cam bosan lak...


Do you spot yourself in this pic? Peminat semua amik pic kenagan.


Cantik tak baju Marsha?


It was massive fun! But also tiring. Tapi sebab nak keep awake lak tuk acara sanding Leya and Ashraf malam ni, again tried to keep awake.

So jalan-jalan shopping dulu. Merasalah bonus lum masuk nak shopping. For my friends yang sama minat magic - I got myself the Fireball!!! Woohoo!! Sapa nak tengok aku throw out balls of fire! Aku dah leh da skang. Entah kenapa aku naik gila tetiba spur of the moment punya purchase.

Dari Berjaya Times Square - gi lawat kawan kat Cheras dulu (rindu ko Zai akhirnya dapat jumpa), before gerak ke Legend Hotel.

I'll let the pictures tell you about the simple, tapi romantic sanding event ok. The reception start ngan pasangan mempelai masuk dengan iringan lagu Glenn Medeiros, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love. Then doa, and dinner. Followed by speeches from the three sisters in Nani, Lesya and Yana. Touching gila their short, simple speech sampai ngundang airmata - especially dari orang nih.

There were also video messages on screen dari rakan rakan artis wishing the pasangan well - including Datin Seri or Datuk (depending which title ko nak pakai) Siti Nurhaliza.

The whole thing was over in two hours. I like! Short and simple - tak meleret, tak overdose nak grand sampai bagik orang fed up. Made everyone apppreciate the special occasion so much more.

So here are the pictures...

Isn't that just sweet...
;

The pelamin - simple but elegant hues of white and gold


Setting for the main table - white totally! Simplicity at its best. Less is more...


The door gifts...


Berdebar masuk dewan dan naik pelamin depan lebih 500 orang.


Yana, Lesya and Nani the bridesmaids.


The terror that is Nani begins. Here's the bridesmaid from hell!!! (matilah Nani bunuh aku pasnih!) First escorting the bride...


Nani fussing over Leya...


Antara tamu...



Sesi gosip otai.. Pierre senyum jerk.. merasalah terperangkap celah orang anyam ketupat!


Fara sempat pose...


Nani begins said reign of terror - fussy fussy!!!


"Pose camni.."
.

"Just smile sayang..."


"She fussing again... tell me darling, why is she the bridesmaid again?" "Erm... because she's your sister, you love her... and she's the jack of all trades who gets everything done?"


"She's fussing with my shoes.. AGAIN!!!"


Kak Fati, hubby Syed Zainal, daughter Nani, Lesya and Yana, we well as Leya with hubby, Ashraf


Dengan keluarga pentantin laki lak...


Congrats Leya!!!!! You have a good one, sister and all the best!


Congrats again Leya!!! And also Ashraf of course! I wish you guys the best. Now... breed like rabbits!!! (wish alaf baru gitu!)

Arghhhh!!! Nak tidur. Got back past 4am after supper and drink with Vern and Rudy at Concorde Hotel punya Melting Pot (which doesn't have a f***ing workable wifi service for use.
Ngantuk hawau!!!

Esok lewat tengahari launch album Siti, Hadiah Daripada Hati. Aku posting pas abih ek! Keep a lookout for that.
